The challenge was to create a layout on a halloween theme using neon colors. I used thee different neon acrylic paint on my background. I don't know why the orange color look so ugly but it's a normal neon orange color IRL. ;) The flair button and the stamp showing skulls are from 3rd Eye.

Oh, I
almost forgot to show you... Here’s my DT layout for ARTastic in October. As
usual there is an art piece to inspire you. This time you should also add some wood
or feathers (real or otherwise). I did both as I used a wood veneer feather. I
stuck to the colors in the painting as I loved the color combination.

ARTastic
has the most awesome challenges and if you are not entering their challenges
already I recommend you to start doing it. They are really inspiring! If you
would like to be a guest designer or to be part of our design team you have a chance
right now! There’s a GDT and DT call going on until November 6. You can read
all the details here.

I love the challenge over at Punky Scraps this month!! The inspiration piece is really inspiring and I love to use stamps – so this was really a lot of fun to me! :) I actually used six different stamps on this one. I guess you cannot find them all but that are the way I like it.

The photo I have used shows an art piece called “At the same level”. It was a ladder and a plateau that made it possible for you to climb up at the same level as the statue of this Swedish king Karl XI living in the 17th century – and to look out of the city in the way he does (if a statue can do that).

(I don’t like to photo my layouts in sunshine but I only had one afternoon, the sun was shining and time was running out… so it had to be this way…).

This layout is made for a challenge at Allt Om Scrap where you were supposed to use vellum embellishments on your layout. I suggested that we should have a challenge with vellum embellishments after I had seen the sneak peeks on the new atumn/winter collections. There were so many awesome vellum embellishments! Unfortunately they never arrived to my favorite web shops (not yet but I’m still hoping)… So I had to make my own vellum embellishment… I cut out a big geo tag in a patterned vellum paper and used it to highlight the name of the bicycle competition that the girls are watching.

Here’s some close ups:

The bicycles on the background are made with modeling paste on a template.

Today I have something special to tell you. I have been asked to make my first sketch! I know a lot of you do it all the time, but the first time is special, right? I made it for Veckans Skiss and there is an interview with me too. Here’s my interpretation:

And here’s the sketch:

The layout is about DD using a lot of strange, adult words when she is speaking. I started to “collect” the words and it ended up in this layout. :)

The Design Team over at Veckans Skiss has made some awesome interpretations and I really recommend you to pop over here to have a look. Of course I hope to see you playing along to! There’s a RAK and I’m the one who pays the shipping fee so I promise you that I will ship worldwide! You will have until 7th October to join in.
